Feelings lead to thoughts; thinking leads to clarity; clarity leads to making choices. Picking the choice that best fits you is the part that takes the most courage. Often the ego gets in the way and sways our decision. This is where the “thinking” part of the process becomes the most prevalent as egos tend to push us away from thinking clearly and authentically. We allow our perception of what others think about us guide us in the direction of being unauthentic. We may feel triumphant as we think that we appear “better” or more “successful” but, it is a fleeting moment as we quickly start seeking the next endeavour of shallow bravado.
It becomes an addiction as we move through a daily process of inputting tasks and accomplishments in place of the void of being true. Our days become filled with continual “doing” bearing no relevance on “who” we are, only what we can accomplish. The “who” comes from acting upon how we feel. Moving from a place of emotion can only create what is real for you. There will be no hesitation as it feels right and good and real. There is no sense of question because you know that if you are experiencing something from the heart, it is what it is. It can only be altered if you allow your ego to step in and change its existence from real to, well, something that is not. If it is not real, nothing true can be felt and then, how can it have any significance to you at all?
Tomorrow is Sunday; traditionally a day of rest. It used to be the day that I got up early to catch up on laundry, cleaning and cooking, etc. Not anymore; I'm not feelin' it!!! Wake up and just feel what comes to you. Think about how you are feeling without allowing others or anything to influence those thoughts. Be clear about your thinking and keep it simple; it is what it is. Your choices will be easy and you will be back to feeling again. And so the cycle will continue.
